Jose Mourinho has beaten Louis van Gaal to sign Barcelona ace Pedro |
Manchester United had been working on a deal for Spain star Pedro - who has a £22m release clause - for weeks.
United chief executive Ed Woodward flew to Barcelona on Monday to conclude negotiations for the 28-year-old.
But according to reports, Pedro is already in London undergoing a medical and is set to join Chelsea.
Spanish sports paper Marca claim Chelsea have offered more cash up front while United wanted the deal to include further add-ons.
United have apparently now ended their interest in Pedro, who was also linked with Manchester City.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho made the dramatic late hijack of the forward last night, after taking just one point from their first two Premier League games of the season.
